Exsul – s/t

December 25, 2020December 9, 2020 Vinterd

To scour through the very bottom layers of the underground to find the next act worth talking about is like finding which soul locked in hell wants to escape the most. Every single one of them believes themselves to be … Continue reading Exsul – s/t

December 13, 2020November 25, 2020 Vinterd

When it comes to the vast and unyielding realm of black/death metal, Triumvir Foul has been the high bar that I’ve had set for many other acts in the style for years now, and it is not often whatsoever that … Continue reading Voreus – The Proclamation

Farer – Monad

December 10, 2020November 23, 2020 Vinterd

Revulsion – s/t

December 3, 2020November 17, 2020 Vinterd

A worthwhile debut isn’t quite like anything else where the scene as a whole has not previous expectations whatsoever about whatever the band may be of any style even if the band’s members are all well known. It’s the closest … Continue reading Revulsion – s/t

Sarvok – Cabin in Space

November 25, 2020November 25, 2020 Vinterd

Slough of Despair – Catacombs of Terror

November 16, 2020October 27, 2020 Vinterd

There’s a special fire that lives in every unique brand of metal that helps one sound stand out tremendously amongst the ocean of others. Whether it’s a devilishly slow burn or a raging fire that seeks naught but consumption, each … Continue reading Slough of Despair – Catacombs of Terror

Grimorte – Esoteric Ascendance

November 11, 2020October 20, 2020 Vinterd

Wisent – Seething

November 9, 2020October 20, 2020 Vinterd

It’s not very often that I find myself ensnared in whatever the world of hardcore throws my way whenever it decides to do so, and it’s surprisingly often that I find myself really into whatever I’m hearing when the occasion … Continue reading Wisent – Seething
